Filter the set of Equipment records

The Equipment tab displays the entire equipment inventory for the floor that you have entered in the filter .

When working with equipment in the grid, you can use the grid's Smart Search console to limit the list of equipment items. Since a floor may contain office equipment such as computers and printers, healthcare equipment such as monitors and beds, as well as H-VAC and related equipment, using the Smart Search console is handy for refining the list.

You can also use the Filter's More button to filter by room, Equipment Standard, and so on.

Locate an equipment item on the floor plan

To quickly see where an equipment item resides, click on the Equipment Code value in the grid. The floor plan highlights the room containing this equipment.

For example, in the below image the user has used the grid's Smart Search feature to search for scanning equipment and then clicked on the HU--CT-SCAN value; the Console highlights the room containing this item.

In this case, the scanner is represented with an equipment asset symbol; however, the Console highlights the room on the floor plan regardless of whether the equipment item is represented with an asset symbol on the floor plan.

Create a new equipment item

Several Archibus modules offer tasks for developing your equipment inventory. As necessary, you can add to this inventory using the Facilities Console.

Click the "+" button in the Equipment grid. You will access the Add Equipment form, which is identical to the below tabbed "Details for Equipment" form, except that it offers the Select Equipment from Requirements button.

For information on the Add Equipment form, see:

• Adding and Editing Equipment with the Tabbed Equipment Form

• Select Equipment from Requirements button

Edit an equipment item

From the Facilities Console, you can edit all properties of an Equipment record using the tabbed Details for Equipment form. To access the tabbed Equipment form:

Method	Description
From the grid	Click the pencil-shaped Edit icon to the left of the Equipment Code value
From the floor plan	If the equipment item is represented with an equipment asset symbol on the floor plan, click on the asset symbol. For example, in the above image click on the scanner asset symbol in the highlighted room or one of the licensed bed symbols. Note the following about selecting equipment asset symbols: Unlike rooms for which you can select multiple rooms to edit at once, you can select only one equipment item at a time. The Healthcare Facilities Console is unique among Archibus views in that you can select both rooms and equipment asset symbols from the same floor plan view. When you attempt ot select on the floor plan small or narrow equipment items, such as fire walls, be aware that you might need to zoom in order to properly select the equipment item. Without zooming, you might find that you click outside the equipment asset symbol and instead select the room.

Both methods present the below form, containing a series of tabs, for reviewing and editing information about the item.

For information on the form's fields, see Adding and Editing Equipment with the Tabbed Equipment Form.
